Window cleaning or window washing is the task that involves exterior cleaning of glass used for structural, lighting, and decorative purposes. It can be done manually, using a variety of tools for cleaning and access. More recently, in high tech societies, the use of fully automated robotic window cleaners is starting to become common. However, cleaning high glass and windows can be a very risky job and presents very real dangers to the operative. High-rise window and glass cleaning used to be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world with many fatal accidents occurring each year. Luckily in recent years with the advent of new technologies, the risk has decreased significantly but safety among operatives who carry out these high-risk cleans is still paramount. Given this condition, it became the research interest of the authors to design and fabricate a semi-automated window washer for high-rise buildings wherein the prototype is controlled using an Arduino system. The design and fabrication consist of three parts: the design of the hydraulic system, the automation system, and the mechanical system. Each material used in the prototype was properly tested and calculated to carry the load of the whole prototype with the window-cleaning features. Therefore, it can be concluded that the semi-automated window washer prototype can be effectively used in the cleaning of windows for a high-rise building. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
